u_uAm I wrong in thinking it’s better that it doesn’t show up in google result? Of course it sucks that it is deliberately hidden, but I feel like it will help the site staying under the radar from unwanted attention. People who put a slight effort to find it will still be able to find it.
same reason i wonder why some anime/movie websites i use urge their users to share stuff about it to others. Just keep your head down damn it, so I dont have to constantly search for new decent websites.
Yeah I know. I don’t get people’s irrational need to ruin something that’s going good. Christ, big run-a-mouths are the reason we’ve lost some good piracy sources and services.
earthwormWhat’s really weird is that the byline(?) says this article was published “today”, when I saw this exact same headline more than a week ago.
tomiant- updated today (by me, a bot, I just touched the file and it’s good as new)
higgsbosonAnnas Archive is better using their own in site search function anyway. I’m okay with this if it reduces AA legal exposure and just remains sort of an “open” secret
EngywookThe problem being…? Lots of alternative search engines out there and if you already know Anna’s archive, just use that to search for stuff.
melroyNo it’s called censorship.
A private company deciding what to show (and what no to) is not censorship, mate.
kbalI wanted to mention that Ada in Cardano project is named after her Ada Lovelace. Just for info.
katy ✨don’t most alternative search engines just use google or bing as a source?
Just use Yandex if you want to search for somewhat shady stuff.
Some may call it shady. I call it Linux ISOs. Damn capitalism.
I’m surprised that someone that would use Anna’s Archive, would use Google as their search engine.
Or use a search engine to access it in general. Anna’s Archive itself is a search engine, it’s better to just bookmark it and search for stuff directly from there.
Is it on a stable website, or does it change sometimes? And what’s the address?
This was linked in like the first sentence of the article, and it has an up-to-date list of the current URLs.
Thanks, it would never occur to me to look for it on Wikipedia.
It’s been communal tradition ever since ThePirateBay got into these “DNS wars” and “Domain switching”. In the end, TPB kind of faded out. But same practice goes for many pirate sites. That’s the point :) so, be aware it’s a great way to find URLs for these o7
Is stable for me for a long time already. Maybe you need to switch DNS, as some ISPs have a DNS block. But one should switch DNS regardless.
Thanks
I’ve seen a lot of very tech savvy people still using google and chrome to this day. It’s the top search engine. The majority of people use it, including pirates.
Sometimes I’m just lazy. Don’t use chrome but google as a search engine since it’s the default and sometimes I can’t be bothered to change it.
They probably don’t, tbh. Question is if this will even affect the traffic in any way.
If I want to find a pdf, whether it be a book, comic or research paper, I use Yandex - Google has been unusable in that way for a long time now.
I usually use ddg but sometimes it can’t find things in non-English languages whereas google has the results I’m looking for.
Well that’s a funny coincidence, I’ve removed Google URLs and services from all my devices and browsers.
Waiting to see who grapheneOS is working with next year and what models, then completely and finally degoogling my life.
You don’t have to wait, start it now! LineageOS with MicroG is a fine Android OS without Google. It’s supported on many devices.
Here is the front page: https://annas-archive.org/
Who tf uses google anymore anyway?
(I know, I know, a sea of normies)
isnt this kind of good thing? The original website is the best for searching stuff from there and by doing this, it takes off some heat from the website
It’s a bad thing because people are less likely to come across it at all.
We should stop being afraid to fight because we think our oppressors will fight back.
That’s bitch-made, punk-ass behavior.
Strong community is how we deal with this, not by relying on corporations’ tools. People should be guided to communities first, so they can also get information how to stay safe themselves.
Good thing I use Startpage
Pretty sure startpage shows the same results as google.
Mojeek is a search engine that prides itself on lack of censorship, but it can be hard to find things there as well.
Oh boy, copyright holders are about to learn about the Streisand effect
Rude of them
